Spring is starting to emerge Here There and Everywhere I might regret that later Welcome to Garden tour Saturday the birds are so happy this morning I don’t know if you can hear them but they are just singing their little hearts out today is March 22nd and we are doing a garden highlights tour today’s video is a collaboration video hosted by the one

And only Grandma Sandy go check her out co-hosted by saoke Susie in Long Island New York Patricia and Cube somewhere in the Southern United States and Barb Alle Rural Life in the northern mountains of Washington State starting off with what is getting me most excited for the spring season

Right here this is my five variety Plum Tree just starting to bloom here is I can’t say it’s in its full Glory yet cuz it will be absolutely full of flowers but let’s take a closer look it’s actually a sixth variety Plum Tree I forgot that we did craft another

Variety onto here and it did take and it bloomed last season but last season overall was a poor season for this Plum Tree if I can find a photo I’ll insert the flowers from last year it literally had thousands of flowers and we got about eight fruits on it so really poor

Season flowers do not want dictate how many fruits you’re going to get that’s all I can say about that not the first time that’s happened with many fruit trees in my yard they can have full blooms and poor fruiting definitely depends on weather and many other factors how many fruits

You get but regardless the blooms are making me so excited on this Plum Tree however I haven’t seen any pollinators yet here so that might be a problem a curious Critter on my gazebo watching my guardian tour how fun next let’s check out this slope only

A few colors here I did show these cies in my previous tour one of them of the slope and they’re getting more and more flowers love the rich purple color and if we come up this was the first pansy to start blooming this this is one Johnny Jump Up they pop up all

Over my garden they came from my back they came from my rock garden and they have migrated into the back garden and I absolutely love them very prolific pansy flowers selfed everywhere let’s take a look at my candy tff ground cover I’ve shown it in the last couple of garden tours and

Let’s check it out now more and more flowers are starting to emerge absolutely love the pure white color for anyone who is new to this perennial it is an evergreen in zone 7 to8 Vancouver Island and it has been an awesome ground cover to plant around these boxwoods

They were having a terrible time growing before I planted this a few years ago and after I planted it they have taken off with growth so definitely consider living melt es for ground covers there’s also a creeping Fox right beside it and let’s check out my white arcia

Arria however you pronounce this plant name right here it’s had its white flowers for a couple weeks now still something I absolutely love and the yellow centers are such a cheery pop of color on this plant this next Plant I was going to save for the vegetable garden update but I cannot

Wait it is too exciting so I’m going to show you now we are up in the backyard vegetable garden and I have all kinds of stuff growing in here and these are my hasat berries check it out they are in full bloom and I did catch some

Bumblebees here a few days ago didn’t have my camera at the time but holy smokes they are full of flowers here’s one Bush I have a different variety here if you want to see one of the original tags I believe I have three varieties this is Mrs honey berry it is a

Female and if I’m not mistaken I believe you need both a female and a male could be wrong about that but I think you do for this Berry and if you’ve never tasted them I call them a blueberry alternative not the same as blueberries but definitely delicious we’re going to come down the

Gravel pathway just check out some developments Here There and Everywhere this here is my nectarine tree I did a how to plant a nectarine tree in the Pacific Northwest video last season and it is doing fine just starting to get its leaves this one actually has never flowered this is a prolific dwarf

Nectarine Little Bird friend has joined me again same one from the Gazebo and this tree doesn’t get very big from my memory I think it gets a maximum of 6 feet tall so it’s great for a small space and hopefully it puts on a lot of growth this year I don’t expect blooms

But I do expect lots of growth coming down the gravel Hood pathway I spy more color here we have the daffodils they were just starting to bloom in the last tour and there are more and more blooms coming next we’re just going to take a quick examination of one of my fig trees

I haven’t really looked at them recently so let’s see what’s happening this is one of my two Desert King fig trees let’s take a look at the branches haven’t looked at them in a while so what you see at the top right here could be leaves forming most likely

And these could be either leaves or the baby figs forming they kind of do both at the same time I’ve noticed from previous seasons and they are all over this plant my theory is that these are probably mostly baby figes forming but sometimes we do have them turn into

Leaves I’ve been fooled before many times let’s take a quick look at my coconut ice Peach Tree definitely a long way from blooming but if we get a little closer the flower buds are definitely here so it won’t be too much longer depending on the weather there are lots

Of them let’s take a look at my little bulb border not that different from the last time you saw it but I think there may be more grape pents In Bloom we’re going to journey into the rock garden and check out a few highlights over there [Applause]

Sky is kind of pretty this morning it’s kind of gray blue and white all at the same time with a little sun shining through very nice going to check out the growth on my wall flowers lots and lots of flower buds and they are so close to opening but no open

Flowers yet probably another one or two sunny days and they should be open I’ll definitely show them when they do open they are very underappreciated in my opinion in the gardening Community they need more of a spotlight on this perennial an enemy flowers there are so many of

Them here is my second wall flower these actually get two colors of flowers in my garden they get sort of a vibrant orangey red and then they also get a deep red almost burgundy color on the same plant really really beautiful and I just spotted another

Flower that I did not know was blooming so that is so exciting this is a fuchsia colored AR arria ground cover I showed the white one I have in the backyard while in the front garden I have a fuchsia colored one it’s kind of broken into multiple

Bits the mother plant is over here and it is kind of spread itself over here that does tend to happen in my rock garden quite a lot with plants the pansy flowers are popping up Here There and Everywhere this Garden will have hundreds if not thousands when the season is in full

Swing here’s another look at all the pansies that are starting to pop up they literally grow Here There and Everywhere they’re making their way into my St Patrick’s Day fairy garden which I’m going to be changing out really soon for Easter just haven’t done it yet more pansies here and lots more

Coming this direction I love when there are multiple shades of purples all together it is so pretty and they just choose to grow however they like pretty wild these py flowers this here is sand wart I have shown it in videos before in garden tours as well as in YouTube shorts and I

Think I did a how to transplant sand wart video just starting to get its new growth and I think the flower buds are just starting to form so exciting these are my roto dendrons they are looking a little more yellow colored than I’m used to not sure if that was from the extra

Cold temperatures in winter but time will tell how they play out they always Bloom but some Seasons more than others quick look at just a few flowers in The Cottage Garden these were some giant pansies I planted in the fall and yes they survived the winter many pansies here do

Actually almost perennial eyesee they did not come back from seed they definitely survived the winter and look at the size of those groms they are huge those ones are not self-seed I planted them from Nursery plants in the fall and coming this way my English daisies are just starting to

Bloom over here we have another Nursery bought pansy flower these are different colors than the ones in my front Rock Garden I love the more red shade of purple here so beautiful and over here the these are my oregano plants the growth is just so lovely they are so

Lush and all over this Cottage Garden thank you for watching and Happy Spring quick peek at my milk JS we also have you can’t see in there we also have spinach Sprouts so exciting these were planted at all different times and some were even planted today but some have been going

Growing for a little while and I see Greenery we have bok choy sprouts and right here we have you guys see that these are giant mustard greens I think they’re still way too small to put in the ground but so exciting when things start sprouting
